I Wish I Was Back in Baby’s Arms Songtext

von Lena Horne

I wish I was back in my baby's arms,
I wish I was back to stay!
Every time I kissed him,
I'd tell him how I missed him
And promise I would never go away!

Yes, I wish I was back in my baby's arms,
I'd gladly take the blame!
I'd wrap my blues in cellophane and put them on the shelf,
And then I'd find a mirror and congratulate myself!
Oh-ho, I wish I was back in my baby's arms,
And I wish my baby wished the same!

I wish I was back in my baby's arms,
I wish I was back to stay!
Ah, every time, every time I kissed him,
I'd tell him, I'd tell him how I missed him
And promise, promise I would never go away!

Yes, I wish I was back in my baby's arms,
Why I'd gladly take the blame!
I'd wrap my blues in cellophane, put 'em on the shelf,
And then I'd find a mirror and congratulate myself!
Yes, I wish I was back in my baby's arms,
And I wish my baby wished,
And I wish my baby wished the same!
